the tom foreman is in our studio. spider marks studied north korea's military for several years. >> wolf, despite the global implications that would follow, if north and south korea went to full anwar, the truth is, the korean peninsula would really bear the prunt of all of this. that's where most of the fighting would take place. we know the dmz between the south and north is so heavily fortified, that neither side can just charge in and go across that land to attack the other. if the north wanted to set this up and make it happen, what do they do? >> tom, the very first thing we're going to see is large concentrations of artillery and missile fire from the north to targets in the south. seoul is just south of the dmz. what's interesting is the firing positions are on the north slope of the mountains. that define the dmz. very difficult for the coalition forces if the south to see those pieces before they're activated. >> so while that firing is occurring from these mountains down here, what else is going on from the

cnn's tom foreman is at the magic wall. tom, what could happen if north korea were to start a war with some of those conventional weapons? >> wolf, all we're really looking at is a lay of the land here. if you look at north korea up here, you can see it's got this advantage in an interesting way. there's water on both sides makes a big difference because it makes it relatively hard to get in and respond to them. you have the dmz down here where they could reach in to south korea with any kind of attack they wanted to stage there. let's look at the bigger picture of this. it's a small nation so why does it matter. because of their missile capability. some have a range of 430 miles. that completely engulfs all of south korea and reaches over toward japan. their bigger missiles come out to 2,500 miles. we've talked a bit about the idea of some that can go all the way to the u.s. but that technology isn't quite there yet, so they're off the table. there are an awful lot of people. when you talk about the ground forces, 1.1 mill

tom foreman is at the magic wall. tom, tell us where these explosions, these bombings occurred. >> let's look at the layout, this is massachusetts. the finish line, 26.2-mile route that winds back and forth up and down some hills. right down here into the heart of the city, that's where the finish line is. and when we talk about how bad this was and how bad it could have been, it's worth bearing in mind that, in fact, runners world is now reporting, wolf, that about 17,500 runners had already crossed this line before the explosion, which meant about 6,000 hadn't crossed. even though they normally get 27,000, a lot of people drop out at the last minute. so, in fact, every runner that went across this line, that took people away to celebrate and say the race is over. in fact, this was late in the process here. one thing i want to notice here, we've been analyzing this explosion and the second explosion just down the street here. if we move towards the mandarin oriental here, if you take a closer look, one of the things

thanks very much, tom foreman. i talked about this a little while ago with the republican congressman mike rogers. have they crossed that so-called red line, the game changer the president has suggested, by now the intelligence community believing that some varying degrees of credibility that they have in fact, the syrian regime, used sarin gas, chemical weapons against the rebels? >> well, if you look at the body of intelligence over the last two years, wolf, i think it is fairly indisputable at this point that some quantity of chemical weapons has been used. now the brits have said it, the israelis have said it, the french have said it, and now the white house and the secretary of defense has acknowledged they think chemical weapons have been used. it's hard to make the statement on august 20th, that if they move weapons in a position to be used, or use them it would be a game changer, or red line, you know, i argue that if you're going to have credibility in the world, and that's important in a more destabilized
